Highly Diastereoselective Cationic Cyclization Reactions Convert a Common Monocyclic Enone to Bicyclic Precursors for the Synthesis of Retigeranic Acids A and B.
Simon BreitlerYi-Xin HanE J CoreyPublished in: Organic letters (2017)
A novel method is demonstrated for the diastereoselective conversion of a monocyclic enone to a pair of bicyclic intermediates which enable the stereocontrolled enantioselective syntheses of retigeranic acids A and B.
